Animatica
A mod implementing the OptiFine/MCPatcher animated texture format
Quick answer
Which Animatica release should I use?
Animatica 0.6.1+1.21.5 targets 1.21.5, 1.21.6 with Fabric, Quilt. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Animatica required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Animatica 0.6.1+1.21.5 need?
0.6.1+1.21.5. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
Before you install it
Add Animatica without breaking your instance.
